Chapter 522: To see County Magistrate Zhou
Translator: Lonelytree
When the servant came over to report, County Magistrate Zhou was somewhat stunned. Zhou Wencai quickly stood up and even forgot to pick up the fan he usually loved. He strode out and asked anxiously, ” Where are they now? ”
The servant replied, “They are already in the courtyard.”
The moment the servant finished speaking, Zhou Wencai saw Lin yuelan and immediately greeted her in joy, ” Miss Lin, long time no see!”
When Lin yuelan saw Zhou Wencai, she chuckled without any surprise. “It’s indeed been a long time, young master Zhou!”
Zhou Wencai smiled like a flower and said, “Haha, Miss Lin, I haven’t seen you for such a long time. You’re getting more and more beautiful. When I first saw you, you were so skinny and you didn’t look like a twelve-year-old child at all. You were obviously seven or eight years old … Now, your skin is tender and white, and your face is white with a tinge of red …”
The more he spoke, the more Zhou Wencai suddenly felt a freezing cold air coming from his left, making his body shrink involuntarily.
Then, Zhou Wencai looked to the left beside Lin yuelan and noticed a tall, slender man in ice-blue clothes. He had sharp brows and a handsome face.
He noticed that the cold air was coming from his body, and what made others even more suspicious was that this man’s body was also emitting a murderous aura, as well as a strong and overbearing aura.
In short, the two auras made Zhou Wencai feel somewhat familiar, as though he had encountered them before. However, he didn’t remember clearly having never seen this man.
Jiang Zhennan had already felt uncomfortable when Zhou Wencai praised Lin yuelan for becoming more and more beautiful. Once he felt uncomfortable, he released a cold aura at Zhou Wencai.
Zhou Wencai’s mind whirled a few times. When his gaze involuntarily drifted to Lin yuelan, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration as a guess emerged.
Could it be …
Only then did Zhoucai Wen suppress the shock in his heart. Then, he asked with a calm expression, ” Miss Lin, this is? ”
Lin yuelan looked to the side and saw Jiang Zhennan’s cold, solemn, and dignified face exuding an icy aura. It was no wonder that Zhou Wencai had noticed him so quickly.
She introduced him, ” this is my friend, young master Nan Zhenjiang.”
Nan Zhenjiang, Jiang Zhennan
So it really was him!
This time, Zhou Wencai’s face revealed an obviously astonished expression.
What puzzled Zhou Wencai, even more, was that the legendary general Wargod wasn’t disfigured. He wore a silver mask for a long time, causing outsiders to be unable to know Jiang Zhennan’s true face.
Some people said that he had become an extremely ugly monster, so he had to wear a face to cover up his ugliness in case he scared people. Some people said that it was because he was handsome. As a general of an Army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, this handsome face did not pose any threat to the enemy, so he wore a mask to increase his power and majesty. Some people said that he wore a mask to disguise himself, to make people think that he was unfathomable, not to be trifled with.
However, no matter what the rumors were, everyone was inclined to believe the first one. He was disfigured on the battlefield and was determined to be an ugly monster.
Therefore, whenever he appeared in any place with a mask on, his appearance would make children cry and women shriek in fear. They were all frightened, first by his intimidating aura and second by the rumors. The children were frightened, while the women were frightened by the aura and rumors.
However, in reality, no one had seen his true face.
Now that Zhou Wencai had finally seen Jiang Zhennan’s true face, he would be lying if he said that he was not surprised.
Who would have thought that the general, who was rumored to be extremely ugly, would actually be so handsome?
However, no matter how surprised he was, he couldn’t reveal Jiang Zhennan’s true identity in front of everyone. Otherwise, not to mention Jiang Zhennan himself, even Lin yuelan would probably cut him.
Zhou Wencai hid his surprised and astonished expression. He wanted to perform well in front of Jiang Zhennan, but his facial expression had already stiffened, and the smile he revealed was a little awkward.
But even so, just as he was about to speak, his father’s words rang in his ears. County Magistrate Zhou asked, ” Wen ‘Er, this is Lin yuelan, right? ” County Magistrate Zhou’s eyes brightened as he asked in confusion.
